I think it should be ok though, maybe won't last quite so long. Unbelievable state the old chain was in, after riding through flooded roads and not getting to clean it immediately afterwards. Still, those were, I think, the original chain and sprockets, 27.000 miles-ish, so not bad for a bike with no auto-oiler.Curiosity got the better of me after reading your post about the VX or VM , so I looked up the DID website. The last chain I bought for the Fzs1000 was a VX.
And now washed and shiny again. Happiness is a clean, shiny :faz

Reading this it appears that the VX is stronger then the VM. A sigh of relief here
